Briza maxima is an ornamental grass with loose, nodding spikelets whose overlapping scales give them a flattened, patterned appearance.
Botanical characteristics
The heads change from green towards straw and brown tones as they mature, and are useful in dried arrangements. Sun and well-drained soil suit this Mediterranean grass.
One grass, different seed preparations
Normal Seed and Half-rubbed Seeds describe seed preparations in the wholesale list. They should be compared as article forms, rather than advertised as different flower colours or botanical varieties.
